The car is really pretty.

Search it with a fine tooth combo for rust. If you don't find any, and especially if you can do a compression test and confirm the engine is in decent health, I'd pull the trigger without much hesitation. If it were me. I feel like most of those mechanical issues are going to prove relatively simple, from my personal experience. What is not so simple is trying to return these cars to being so pretty when they've been left to rust, sun bake, etc.
